Why methane mercaptan has a lower boiling point than methanol even though methyl mercaptan has a higher molecular weight?
For the same reason that water isn't a gas. Oxygen is highly electronegative and the hydrogen bonding present in water and methanol raises the intermolecular attractive forces and results in a higher boiling point.
When was mercaptan first added to gas in the U.S.?
When was mercaptan first added to gas in the U.S.?
1ppm of mercaptan equals how many pounds in 1mscf of natural gas?
1 ppm of mercaptan in 1 million standard cubic feet (mscf) of natural gas would be equivalent to 1 pound of mercaptan.
What does mercaptan smells like?
Mercaptan is a colorless gas with decaying or rotting, putrid or fetid smell.
When is mercaptan added to natural gas?
Mercaptan is added to natural gas after it is processed to create an odorant that gives it a sulfur-like smell. This is done to help detect leaks and ensure safety by making it easier to identify gas leaks.
Is methyl mercaptan a toxic gas that is flammable?
Yes, methyl mercaptan is a toxic gas that is flammable. It is a colorless gas with a strong odor reminiscent of rotten cabbage. It is considered highly toxic if inhaled and can also catch fire if exposed to a flame or spark.
What gas is used in cooking gas cylinders for the smell?
methyl mercaptan
Which organic compound is mixed with LPG to detect lekage?
methyl mercaptan
How do you pronounce mercaptan?
"MURR-captain". Methyl mercaptan, CH3SH, aka methanethiol, is added to natural gas to let us smell it. It is one of the chemicals responsible for the smell of bad breath and flatulence (farts).

What is the composition of LPG gas in Mexico?
Propane and butane. Some methanethiol (methyl mercaptan) is also added, giving a characteristic putrid smell to easily detect leaks.

What is the strong additive smell to natural gas?
The strong additive smell to natural gas is typically due to the addition of a chemical called mercaptan or thiols. This is done to help people detect gas leaks more easily, as natural gas itself is odorless.
When was mercaptan first used in natural gas?
Well, honey, mercaptan was first used in natural gas back in the 1930s. It was added to give natural gas that lovely rotten egg smell so folks can detect leaks and avoid blowing up their homes. So, next time you catch a whiff of that stinky scent, thank mercaptan for saving your bacon.
